Be Just as Well as GenerOns

We have no objections to make
to the granting of pensions to the
widows of deceased Generals of the
army, indeed we think it proper
and right that they should be ta-
ken care of; but why such haste ?
A2General in almost every instance
is the ward of the Government,
and for his services in time of war
received good wages, and suffered
less hardship and privation than
the private soldier, many of whom
left their wives and little ones in
scantily furnished homes and in
many cases to be supported by the
cold charity of the county or com
munity. while the husband and
father endured the danger of the
battle, the fatigue of the march
and the exposure of the camp, for
the paltry pay of a private, return
ing at last broken in health and
aged before his time, as the reward
of his patriotism and valor, while
Others just as brave, just as patri-
otic just as necessary for the per-
petuity of the Government.
crest where they weyried,
And sleep where they fell"
Around all such, who wore not
the insigia of Office, the Govern
ment they fought to perpetuate has
thrown such difficulties and delays
that many have grown weary with
waiting, and poverty and sickness
has forced them to the Aims Houses
of public charity, only because
some ficticious and foolish techni-
cality in the required proofs has oc-
cured.
Let the Government be generous
in granting munificent pensions to
the widows of the officers of our
army; but at the same time let it
be just to the private soldier by re-
moving the obstacles in the way of
their obtaining the meager bounty
of the Government they love and
risked their lives to perpetuate.

What Shall the Harvest BE.

What Shall the Harvest Be.
Now that the question of local
prohibition is to be passed on in
the near future it behooves lis as
citizens to think seriously upon the
question, of, what shall be done
We have nothing in common with
the saloon, nor have we any apollo
~ to make for either drunkenness
or lawlessness on the part of sa-
loon keepers. Neither have we all
our life, had "nailed to our mast
head a flag bearing the motto,
Eternal Opposition to the Open Sa-
loon, and all the time slept with
our gripsack packed under our
head ready to run at the first on
set of the enemy. But withall we
have had some experience in
dealing with the liquor traffic ac-
cording to law.
We are to apt to grasp any new
and novel proposition of the law as
Magnuna Boaun, forgetting past
statutes and past experience.
Before the recent tinkering with
the liquor laws of the State. we had
laws on the subject as follows:
Saloon keepers were prohibited
under penalty to sell to minors,
to persons in the habit OF becoming
intoxicated, or selling to be drank
on or about the premises Where
sold.
All of the above laws were sup
plemented by broad and sweep
ing statute, making it crime pun
ishable with fine of $4,000 to keep
a place in which liquors were sold
contrary to law, and upon convic-
ton the keeper was required to
give bond of $1,000 that he would
cease violating the law, in default
of which the place was closed as a
public nuisance.
With all these laws amounting
to practical prohibition, on the
books, with Courts and Juries
sworn to execute the law on all Of
tenders against whom legal infor-
nation was lodged, we are told we
cad to live in daily terror of the
dealers in ardent spirits.
If 1T be true that as citizens
we allowed all the above police
regulations to be disregarded, what
special potent power is there about
local prohibition that will save it
from the same fate.
Laws cannot be executed by
meeting in public and making elo-
quentsspeeches, nor by bombastic
assertions on the corners of streets.
Who among us as citizens are
going to come forward in the ca
pacity of public informer.
Who will furnish money to keep
the wheels of justice in motion, for
all will acknowledge that the en-
forcement of law is expensive.
Will the minister? Is he to de-
scend to the slums of society and
become the informer, and shall he
deplete his salary to carry on a |
Will the merchant or the manu-
facturer? No, they cannot spare
the time from their business.
Will the lawyer? Yes, if his
fees are assured.
Will the drunkard? Yes, when
he has gone to the dogs, and is re-
fused credit ut the bar.
But great as are the evils result
ing from the business, some one,
yes, the whole community must be
on constanl guard, each ready to
assume the position of prosecuting
witness and to aid with his voice
his action, his influence and his
money, or local prohibition will
share the fate of the laws which
have gone before, and which we in
our judgement believe to have
been more stringent than all Scott
and Pond laws ever enacted.

THE GLENN BILL.
Excitement Over the Question Of Com
mingling White and Colored Children.

Excitement Over the Question Of Com.
mingling White and Colored Children.
ATLANTA, July 2G.-The excitement
caused by the introduction of the Glenn
bill in the legislature is undated and
grows every day. Mr.. Glenn says that the
sentiment of the people of Georgia i,
strongly in favor of his bill, but fears OPP
position from some of the politicians who
will, it is thought, oppose the bill in order
not to be objected to censure or criticism
from the north. "The measure" Mr..
Glenn says, lis both wise and timely.
All of our race problems should
be settled now, and not left to embarrass
other generations. Then it may be mat
ter of i'm possibilities, and unless we legis-
late now the next generation may not
have it in their power to enact laws neces-
sary TO forever separate the white and
black races" Race prejudice is natural
prejudice, and it is foolish to try to over
come by legislation anything that ia re-
pugnant to human nature. The bill hits
at the schools more than anything else,
because they have been brought by the re-
port of the board of visitors directly
to the attention of the public.
Another reason is that looking after chill
dren is the most important of all things
to be done at present. There can be no
estimate of the evils that will arise from
commingling of races at young and i'm
pressible ages in unrestricted intercourse,
each imbibing the worst ideas of the
other. Miscegenation of ideas may be as
fatal as physical INCORPORATION, and the
mental hybrid resulting from the CO.
education of the races, as much mon
strosity as the physical hybrid could
be ="
The negroes are stirred up on all sides,
and many of them are loud in their pro-
tests against such a bill. Indignation
meetings have been held and largely at
tended. Speeches we're made at these
meetings by the most prominent colored
men in the county, and resolutions were
drafted, showing the SENSE of the meet
lngs. At one of them memorial to the
legislature was prepared and signed by
over 100 colored citizens. This memorial
asked the legislature not to allow the
passage Of the bill.

The Chicago Doodle Thief Supposed to be
in Canada.
CHICAGO, July 25.-Marine men are not
inclined to the theory that ex-Warden
McGarrigle made his escape on the lake
Saturday night. Search through the her-
Dor yesterday showed that all of the
tugs tina. are regularly employed in tow
ing vessels were either lying in the river
or had gone out after tows since break
fast time. The only craft that was miss
ing was fast little steam yacht, which
was launched about two weeks
ago. IL is thought she left the
harbor some time Saturday. She
arrived in Racine yesterday. If McGarri-
gle did take the water route TO Canada, q
couple of lusty fellows could easily have
rowed him out in the lake until hs was in
the pathway of vessels leaving the harbor,
and almost any steamer would have stop
ped 10 pick him up. The fact that tele-
grams have been sent TO all ports to
search vessels arriving from Chicago, it is
thought, counts for but little, as the mas
ters OF most of the class of vessels he
would meet with, would put him ashore at
any desired spot for a consideration.

CHICAGO, July pa special from Mil

an old acquaintance of McGarigle, saw
the fugitive boodler in the Milwaukee d.
st. Paul depot Sunday morning. He
stopped when he saw him, and was about
to speak, but McGarigle gave him the
wink. At this time Mr.. Chapman was
not aware Of McGargle's escape. An
other man who saw McGarigle was limo.

Lynn, Mass, Who was also at the depot.
Hadley did not know the boodler, but
overheard two rough looking men talking
about the gentleman with small satchel,
who was passing. One of them said it was
McGarigle, the boss boodler of them all.
Mr.. Hadley's curiosity was excited and he
followed him down the platform. When
he perceived | was watching him, he
turned around and walked toward me,
cycling me in very embarrassing man
ner. His walking back and looking me
in the eyes was very nervy bluff. l was
too much annoyed by the incident to see

A Meat Contractor Tells How He
Bought The County Com
missloners.

CH1cAdo. July 26.-The usual crowd was
rresent in Judge Jamisons court, this
morning, when proceedings in the
"boodlen case we're resumed. One OF the
witnesses to-day was f. W. Bipper, meat
contractor. Bipper testified that he had
been supplying Cook county institutions
with meat since 1880. The second year
he was obliged to pay the commissioners
$4,000 for the contract. Next year he
paid the chairman Of the board $500 for
voting for his contract.
"Now for the year 1883 what did it cost
youi" asked Gen. Stiles.
'Six thousand dollars"
"Did you pay any OF IT,
81 did"
aDid you pay P. McCarty:"
~ did; $1,000. paid him nothing the
wear before and he said he would not vote
for me unless l made it up next year
"Did Van Pelt get any"
"Thirteen hundred dollars. He said he
was working harder for me. He was the
champion. He said he was offered $4,000
from another man."
"How about Lynn"
II paid him about $500"
"How did you pay the money"
"Oh, slipped it into their pockets
sometimes"
"They used to wear sack coats, didn't
they"
Il don't know about that. / always
found the pocket" Laughter.
In 1884 five contracts cost Bipper
$4,000.
Bipper further testified that during
1885, he acted as agent for the commits
sioners to collect assessments from
sub contractors, who supplied milk
and bread. The money obtained from
this source was disbursed as follows:
To Niesssn, $500; to Mcdonald, $435; to
Leyden, "for the boys" 81, 200; 10 KIehm,
$500; to McClaughery, $780, Bipper said
the grocery firm, for whom he secured the

Progress and Features OF Their Quarrel.
The Watch Incident.
GENEVA, N. Y, July 26.-Bubear has
written a reply TO Hanlan's attack, aud
says Hanlan got fair show in England
better than he deserved until his churlish
qualities cropped out. With regard TO
Hanlan's watch, which Bubear is &C
cused of keeping, the latter says
when the money he expended on Hanlan's
account is refunded, he will return his
watch. He may have forgotten that at
the Geneva regatta, two years ago, he was
glad enough to accept anything the boys
would give If allowed to win. Later a.
another race, where he was allowed to come
in first, he kept all the money. Ia regard
TO his defeat by Teemer by dozen
lengths, Hanlan thought it arranged for
him, and when disappointed, stopped at
the stake boat. Then, for spite, he gave
Teemer's private letters for publication
When in the north of England he WAS
presented with couple of toy medals
that Beach did not think worth accepting.
He hopes Hanlan will accept Teemer S
challenge, and will bet that Teemer beats
him five lengths, and that Hanlan dare
not make the match. He says in con
clusion, he will row Hanlan or his boy
champion, on the Thames course, for
81 900 each.
